Ok guys I just got my new wheels in today they are 18/8 fronts and 18/9 rears and they look great. So what has me worried is that I notice they are all 40mm offset. Do you guys think they will work and look good on the FD? The reason im asking I was told that they wore going to be 38mm offset on all around and got them and they are 40mm all around?

 

2mm different?

That's basically the same thing. Look at a ruler and get an idea of what 2mm really is.

im pretty sure they would work and look great on an FD an FD looks great with like anything.. well almost

 

you're fine get rubbered and have fun.

You can run a 265 rear tire and still be fine. Or you can run a 255 if you are really worried.

I have a 265 rear tire and the offset is +38 and my car is lowered (25.5 from ground to fender). And it doesnt rub AT ALL.

 

What are you running in the front? I was thinking of running 245/40 fronts and 275/35 in rears.

 

245/40/18 is too tall for stock fender arch imho.

You need to run these sizes:

235/40/18 and 265/35/18 to retain proper tire diameters and scrub radii.

2 mm is just over 1/16" (5/64") so that shouldn't be a problem.

 

Well 235/40/18 is already taller than stock.

I can only tell you from experience that I have several clients who have tried without success. Constantly pulling down on fender and wearing away at fender liner in full lock types of positions.

Stock Tire OD (225/50/16) = 24.9"

(245/40/18) = 25.7"

That's pretty significant.

235/40/18 is as much as we like to go over stock OD at 25.4".

Sorry, i forgot to add that im running 17's, not 18's.

And i have a 235/45 front, 265/40 rear.

17 inch wheels.

 

Hey Rishie so would 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 be good tire sizes without problem? Thanks

 

Yes sir, that's what you should run. I can thumbs up on that without hesitation.

Rishie

 

Thanks a lot Richie! Thats what im going to run then
